The archives are a treasure trove of information about Harvard.

The Society is located in the Still River Meetinghouse, now a museum of Harvard’s past, where our collections are displayed, including furniture, tools, paintings, and other objects. Periodic exhibits depict the town’s history and its people.
• Concerts feature musicians performing in the meetinghouse, known to be
acoustically superb.
• Art exhibits allow local painters and crafters to share their creativity with the community.
• Discovery Open Houses showcase the extensive collection of the Society. Maps, photos, books, documents, town reports, personal narratives are all windows to a past that influences Harvard today

Wednesday October 28th, 7: p.m. 215 Still River Road
The George Stevens Organ at the Harvard Historical Society will thrill listeners with music played by Peter Krasinski, a celebrated theater organist. The silent film, Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror, will come alive with organ music.
The Organ was given to the Still River Baptist congregation in 1879 by William Bowles Willard, a prominent member of the church and Still River community. The Harvard Historical Society launched a campaign to restore the organ, and it received a citation from the Organ Historical Society in 2010.
This program is partially supported by a grant from Freedom's Way.
More about the organ and the program on our website, https://harvardhistory.org/.
